When quality comes from experience
Our history was officially born in 1988.
Nord Salse was founded with the person of Mr. Francesco Monte, father of the current CEO, Mr. Davide Monte.
The Monte family matures its experience in the world of the food industry in the historic pasta factory that was owned by the family itself, a company that they left in 1988 to create and dedicate themselves to their business of pesto, tomato sauces and spreadable creams.
In 1992 the staff and the company, grown and developed, moved their headquarters in the current plant in Piasco, in the province of Cuneo, a few kilometers from Langhe, Roero and Monferrato, a geographical area that recently became part of the UNESCO World Heritage.
The period from 1995 to 2008 can be defined as the real years of growth and consolidation of the family business. Nord Salse products, created with highly selected raw materials and production processes that respect the quality of the true Italian tradition, enter all major Italian supermarket chains.
In 2009 the first international experiences began, but it was with the creation of a real export office that the development of foreign markets began. Nord Salse is now a solid company focused on the production of condiments for pasta dishes.
Currently, exports account for 50 percent of global sales. An achievement that is an indicator of the efficiency the company can guarantee to its customers.

In 2020, the expansion of the production plant begins, an action that will allow the company to establish itself as an Italian excellence in the production of condiments for pasta dishes, in Italy and worldwide.
Our goal is to contribute to exporting the MADE IN ITALY brand by strengthening our position on a global level, constantly maintaining high quality standards.
